Dr. Zia, I'm thoroughly looking forward to talking with you about your
research, about what it's like to attend university in Iran, and about
Wikimedia analytics! Welcome.

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to introduce Leila Zia, a Research Scientist, to the Analytics
Team. We're really excited about bringing Leila's skills and expertise to
the Foundation!
In her own words:
Leila Zia's areas of expertise are data mining, linear and non-linear
optimization, dynamic programming, queueing theory, and game theory. She
holds a PhD degree in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford
University, a MSc degree from Rutgers University, and a BSc degree from
Sharif University of Technology. Leila's past research has focused on
predictive modeling and optimization in two healthcare applications,
namely, appointment non-attendance and colorectal cancer mortality. She
is excited to apply her research skills to Wikipedia-related questions.
Leila can be contacted at leila(a)wikimedia.org.
She'll be working out of the San Francisco office -- Welcome Leila!
-Toby
